How do I use light therapy for S.A.D.? Light therapy requires very bright light. The SunLight Junior produces up to 10,000-lux. This is approximately 20 times brighter than normal room lighting. Sit with your eyes open. Exposure to other skin areas will have little or no positive effect. The light box sits at eye level on an angle to provide the most comfortable and effective exposure without excessive glare. Reading at the desk, or just sitting in a chair facing the light about two feet away is all that is necessary. At this light level, 20-30 minutes a day is an appropriate treatment.
Most persons who benefit from light therapy experience positive changes within two days to two weeks of daily treatment. If symptoms do not improve, increasing the treatment up to 45 minutes a day, or using briefer periods twice a day, may be worth trying. Daily, or almost daily, treatment is likely to have the best effect. You may find it helpful to increase the length of exposure during the darkest winter months. Since symptoms may return after cessation of treatment, many SAD sufferers find repeated treatment periods during the fall-winter season most effective. There is some research evidence to suggest that light exposure in early morning may be more effective than afternoon exposure. It is best to avoid exposure to bright lights in the late evening as this may shift the timing of your sleep period.
